Since I'm pretty sure I did compile it into the kernel, >can there be something alse I'm missing ? Trying doing a make clean after you reconfigure the kernel. Then you can do the make depend all to build the new kernel. There is no way currently that the build tools can determine whether or not the files contain the QUOTA code, since this is not a dependency issue. Therefore, you need to recompile any source file that contains QUOTA code, and the easiest way is to recompile everything.
